What is TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS?

TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS is an extension to Esri ArcGIS® that allows you to produce and

consume GeoPDF® documents with ArcMap

™. GeoPDF documents can be shared with the

broadest possible audience to extend the reach and value of your investment in ArcGIS. TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS gives you unmatched capabilities for configuring and optimizing the PDF documents you create with ArcGIS. Additionally, the GeoPDF documents made with TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS are enabled for use with TerraGo Toolbar, and extension to AdobeAcrobat Reader to provide a host of GIS-lite capabilities, including an Identify Tool similar to the one provided by ArcMap for inspecting feature attributes, simultaneous display of multiple geographic coordinates, measurement, and geospatial markup.

Most of the functionality of TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS is available to implementations of ArcGIS for Server through TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS Server.

What is Arc2Edge?

TerraGo Arc2Edge is an extension to Esri ArcGIS® that allows you to exchange map and feature

information with TerraGo Edge workflows by interacting directly with TerraGo Edge servers. TerraGo Arc2Edge is included with TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS, but requires a TerraGo Edge subscription for full functionality.

Additionally, a new GeoPDF export mode has been introduced the results in a GeoPDF document that contains all the time stamps for all the time-enabled maps on the page. GeoPDF layers are created that allow viewingtime stamps in much same way they can be viewed in ArcMap, with access to map layers, feature attributes and feature hyperlinks, and even animation of the time stamps.

Issue with GeoPackage exports with certain Layer name charactersVersion 7.4.0 resolved an issue with GeoPackage exports when the first character of the layer name is illegal as the first character of an SQLite table name.

Replacement of Installation EngineThe Version 7.4.0 utilizes a more robust installation engine.

Fixed embedded scale settingsVersion 7.3.0 correctly honors embedded scale settings when set in MPK.

Improper rendering of labels when variable scale range support is disabledVersion 7.3.0 supports the proper rendering of labels when variable scale range dependency is disabled.

Labels on layers with features drawn with null symbology not renderedVersion 7.3.0 renders labels on layers with features drawn with null symbology.

Hyperlinks active when all layers turned offOlder versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat would detect hyperlinks placed by Publisher in GeoPDF documents when the layer was turned off. Adobe Reader DC does not display this behavior.

What’s new in 7.2.2?

Insert objects from clipboardVersion 7.2.2 supports insertion of objects, such as tables, from the clipboard.

Layer maskingVersion 7.2.2 supports layer-prescribed masks.
